History

The Lower Columbia College Foundation was formed in 1976 with the help of Phillip
and Jeanne Wertheimer. The mission as a college foundation remains the same today
as it did 40 years ago by providing Avenues for Excellence in Education.

The LCC Foundation is committed to providing ways for community members and businesses
to show their support for students and the College. This strong relationship is what
makes LCC truly our community college.
